Philly pan-for shawarma


Instead of going to Abo Sid's i found a street spot called Philly pan.If you ever had chicken shawarma in your hometown at a restaurant then you have to come to Egypt.I decided to try the beef and a chicken one.A warm thin pita filled with tender meat,tomatoes,red onions,fresh cilantro,and lettuce with a special sauce satisfied my mouth.A perfect snack before i head out to another spot for some more food.The stall is setup outside on the sidewalk amongst the madness in the streets,with the small dining area inside.As i wait,the call to prayer is heard throughout the streets as flocks of locals walk,talk,shop,eat,and head to a local mosque or an area where prayer is accomodated.AHH my food arrives on a plate tightly wrapped and ready for me to dig in.A young gentleman who works there asks me where i'm from and tells me he wants to goto LA.We talk food for a bit and tells me to try the fateer at a local place.I thank him and tell him i'll be back to chop it up with him tommorow.Once done i head back out to another place i might find on the way.

  1. Isnt it cool to hear the Azaan called over the loud speaker? Some of the brothers break it down r&b style to get you to come say your prayers.
    This is Nas, btw. Enjoying the blog, brother Tarik!
